Andy Rustay, who is tied for 6th in the PIO in bases on balls with 28, led Chicago (Rk+) to a win over Billings. The final score was 7-5. The center fielder collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 triple and 1 double. He also delivered 3 RBI. With the win, the Cubs have a record of 34-19.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Cubs shortstop Danny Aguirre hit a fastball from Scott Morton for a 2-run single. Just like that, Chicago (Rk+) was up, 6-5.

"It's always extra special to win at home," said Aguirre.
